I think it's supposed to tbe the sword. I had to look at it for a sec to be sure.
there's probably a way to make it more...i guess swordlike but i wouldn't be able to say how exactly.

« on: July 13, 2008, 06:58:47 pm »That's actually a good idea because the game is a beat em up like smash brothers so I need the arms to move independantly
updated animation still doesn't address the shoulders not moving issue. there's a reason the shoulers move, its because when you run or even walk, your torso twists laterally somewhat. when your torso twsts, your shoulders move with it. if you tried to run withtou moving your torso you'd probably fall over.
Also, i'm not really fond of the walk cycle being almost a complete 1:1 recyling of ben's character's movements.
It might help to use a real-life reference, or something that starts off less stylized, like that which is located here http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html

remember when running or walking, the shoulders move reciprocatively to the legs.
as it is, the shoulders don't move at all. also, on the extremes of the arm movement, you've got one fram for the forward, one frame for the back an what appears to be two frames that are almost identical in the middle. i would give them a little bit more difference, because as it is it looks like there's only three frames when there's four.
0Well. that didn't make any sense. i'd do an edit but i can't at the moment.
so;
1. Move the shoulders back and forth
2. differentiate between the "middle" frames a bit more to reduce the 'popping'

there's really no need for dithering when the colors you're using to dither are so close together; the shading would be more apparent if you were to ditch the dithering - and increase the contrast between the colors you're using by a bit. when it's zoomed out i can barely tell there's any shading at all.
as far as rocks, water and grass go,i guess i should probably say something but i'm still working with those myself so there's not much i could offer in regards to them.

On the running animation, the main problem is that he "bumps" at the wrong time, and his forward leg stays straight.
edit pending.

Intentional , yes. sorry if you don't like that, but that's part of the character.
think *half* civilized, *controlled* rage.
Seriously folks, though I want to make the helmet/head and legs more lively. how can i do this without making it look like ass?

Cred Given 
I have some problems working with legs, because i use myself as a reference a lot of the time when i'm doing animation in front of the mirror in my bathroom (I got walked in on once. try explaining dancing around with a plastic sword in the bathroom to your girlfriend.
) and the mirror only goes as far as my waist. If anyone has any videos or references i could use to help fix the movement of the legs i'd greatly apprecate the providence of such materials. as it is i don't reall know what i'd do about them. I know it needs to be changed but i don't know exactly what i'd need to do :\
